@Melbguy1 ... actually, I think Bombaywalla is clutching something more than straws... its gonads. I put the question directly to Magico's US sales folks. Here is their response:
"[T]his really required a response from our CTO, Yair Tamman. See below response to your questions. You will have to excuse his expressions, being that he is from Tel Aviv, some things don't translate easily to English. That said, I've left his response in the raw form.
"'Phase coherence is one of the most discussed issue in our industry.
"I don't disagree with the fact our speaker can't be phase coherent.
"Yet, it was never prove (sic) in controlled listening test as audible (many tried - all didn't achieve the wanted result).
"Yet using high order crossover has proven advantages. Like low distortion, controled (Sic) directivity , drivers linearity and many many more proven advantages
"There is also a very big difference in the drivers you can use.'"
So there you have it. Here's an interesting experiment. Magico speakers corrected with DEQX.
Hopefully, next week, I'll be able to check out the DEQX on my Paradigm S8s.
